I would like, if git could have something like "checkouts". The idea is, that a checkout would contain the working tree, .git/HEAD saying what revision it is at and .git/index and everything else would be linked from the repository it is checked out from. That would allow you to have different branches checked out at different places, while not only sharing all the data, but also all of them available in all the checkouts and commands like pull updating it in all of them. It would be IMHO possible to symlink all the stuff in .git except HEAD and index, except for one problem. This is if you have two checkouts from the same branch and check out of them, the other one needs to know, that it's head should now be detached to stay where it was.
You basically just described what the git-new-workdir script in contrib/workdir does ... it doesn't address the issue of reference updating.
